The Annals of Saint Anne
Welcome to the Annals of Saint Anne!
The Annals of Saint Anne is published by the Shrine of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, a famous Canadian pilgrimage site, whose origins go back to 1658, near the St. Lawrence River, 35 kilometres east of Québec City.
The Annals of Saint Anne, published 6 times a year, is a Popular Catholic Magazine with reflections and spirituality, news from the Shrine, culture and society, art and history. The Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré and its works of art are highlighted in texts and images. The magazine reaches thousands of pilgrims and friends of Good Saint Anne and the Shrine of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré.
The Shrine also publishes a magazine in French: Revue Sainte Anne. In 2022, we celebrate 150 years of publication.
The Revue Sainte Anne, first known as the Annales de la Bonne Sainte Anne, was founded in 1873 by Father Nazaire-Alphonse Leclerc. Since 1898, the magazine has been published by the Redemptorists, a religious community founded in Italy by Saint Alphonsus of Liguori and established in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré since 1878.
The Revue Sainte Anne and The Annals of Saint Anne are available in print and digital versions.

Be Strong, Be Courageous
Life is sometimes cruel when we come to wish that the pain would cease its torment, that the night would allow us to rest, and that the new day would begin without the pitfalls of the past. Our bearings disappear in the face of so many causes such as an accident, an illness, the weight of isolation, a sense of failure or feeling useless. The result is the same, making us prisoners, locked in a broken vessel, lying on the ground. So, how can we rise again? How can we think of continuing the journey? Why even think that this might still be possible?
Being Courageous
We all love reading stories of human courage. One can think of bravery on the battlefield or heroic actions in the face of winter harshness or the confronting of injustice. As a child, Idevoured stories of bravery. Often, these stories included the martyrs for our faith. Stories of the Christians of the first centuries like St. Stephen or St. Felicity and St. Perpetua were eventually complemented by stories of Saint Jean de Brébeuf or groups of martyrs in mission countries such as Japan, Korea, or Uganda.
